Wilson Staff Infinite South Side

-

www.wilson.com Weight: 365g Grip: Wilson Staff Infinite (104g) Toe hang: Face-balanced

TECH:

The grip weighs in at 104g, which moves the balance point closer to the hands, creating a higher moment of inertia and more stable stroke. The clubface is double CNC milled, which Wilson says imparts a more consistent roll.

WE SAY:

We were fans of Wilson’s Infinite models last year (because of the quality head shapes and reasonable price tag) and, thanks to an overhaul which has simplified their look and made them even more appealing, they’ll probably be a big hit this year, too. We loved how the three white lines on the back of the head highlight alignment and path, while a single stripe on the top edge is really good for helping square the blade to your target. As far as fancy, fluffy tech goes, the South Side’s been paired back to just a CNC milled face which is just about all you need if you’re looking for a simple, straightfo­rward and dependable mallet. Perfect for golfers not wiling to splurge on their first centreshaf­t putter. TOP GEAR VERDICT A great introducti­on to centre shaft putters and counter balancing. Padraig Harrington can use any putter he chooses, but he swears by the South Side (he’s won twice with it, too), which speaks volumes about how nice a putter Wilson has created .
